[font size=3]9/11 Truth Movement Trying to Co-opt the Occupy Movement?[/font]

Please spread to individual Occupy movement supporters, affiliated groups, websites, and forums.

This is a plea for the Occupy movement to drop any preconceived notions about, and take careful consideration of, forming an alliance with the 9/11 truth movement, specifically the OccupyBuilding7.org campaign, (an offshoot of the RememberBuilding7.org campaign) spearheaded by 9/11 family members. Please read the entire argument.

Counter to cries that "9/11 truthers are trying to co-opt the Occupy movement" for our "own fringe uses," these issues are arguably inescapably intertwined, and 9/11 truth is far from fringe anymore. I'll start with the latter.

In 2006 a hit piece published by Time magazine stated that the perspective that government officials either "allowed the attacks to be carried out or carried out the attacks themselves" is a "a mainstream political reality."[font size=1]

May I ask what's being tested? greyl Dec 2011 #7
It's a worthwhile topic. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #8
Right, but I'm not at all suggesting it shouldn't be discussed. greyl Dec 2011 #9
Well, it's pinworthy right now because there's not much else to choose from. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #10

"for people to read/discuss for an extended period of time" Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #22
No, I don't think we are really that much in disagreement... Make7 Dec 2011 #24
What does getting "pinned" mean? loudsue Dec 2011 #15
It keeps a thread at the top of the forum even if no one replies to it. ( n/t ) Make7 Dec 2011 #19
Thanks! n/t loudsue Dec 2011 #23
No, I'm afraid I don't see. Can you post an example of debunkers trying to co-opt Occupy? Make7 Dec 2011 #3

No. The two political parties (with the same monstrous body) are trying to co-opt the OWS movement. sadge goddess Dec 2011 #20
